Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vicente Escalante (ranked 514 p4p, 1071 weight class) and Sonny Giovanni (ranked 73 p4p, 157 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sonny Giovanni was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Exotic (ranked 6 p4p, 14 weight class) and Winston Todd (ranked 1 p4p, 2 weight class). Exotic's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger. Todd has chosen Piano Man as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
